DIY Steam Cleaning vs. Professional Carpet Cleaning

DIY Steam Cleaning vs. Professional Carpet Cleaning

If you have a dirty carpet full of stains and dirt that even gives off a faint, musty smell, then you should clean your carpets beyond just a simple vacuum. In order to wash your carpets, however, there are two options that will work with varying degrees of efficacy. Here are the pros and cons of steam cleaning our carpets yourself vs. hiring a professional carpet cleaning company.

DIY Steam Cleaning for Carpets

You can purchase a steam cleaning vacuum for only $100 to over $500, depending on the size and strength of the vacuum. The machines these days are not as clunky as they once were, but they do still take up space in your home year-round, even if you don’t use them more than once or twice a year. The carpet steaming process also takes forever to dry, and if it doesn’t fully dry within a few hours you may end up with a mold problem that is even worse for your home and carpet than before.

Professional Carpet Cleaning

A professional carpet cleaning company like Clean Pros, however, can leave your home clean and fresh without needing extra storage space or drying time. Contact us today for more information on the benefits of hiring a professional, expert carpet cleaning company.
